Application

CNQX has been used:
  • as an α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)/kainate blocker to study its effects on cytoneme formation in pluripotent embryonic stem cells (pESCs)
  • glutamate blocker to reduce the synaptic input during current-clamp recordings in central antennal lobe neurons
  • as a non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker to study its effects on the heart rate in rats

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent, competitive AMPA/kainate glutamate receptor antagonist.

Release of the major excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate by synaptic vesicle exocytosis depends on glutamate loading into synaptic vesicles by vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs). The two principal isoforms, VGLUT1 and 2, exhibit a complementary pattern of expression in adult brain that

Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) is one of the most frequently used analgesic agents worldwide. It is generally preferred over nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs because it does not cause typical adverse effects resulting from the inhibition of cyclooxygenases, such as gastric ulcers. Nevertheless

The study of human cortical development has major implications for brain evolution and diseases but has remained elusive due to paucity of experimental models. Here we found that human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), cultured
